Working for eastern Ontario
We couldn’t be happier to now have reliable service, and our guests feel the same way. We appreciate this service and the impact it is having on our daily lives.
Nadine Pickard, Irwin’s Cabins
I can now stay in touch with our 40+ drivers without worrying about losing signal mid-call or mid-delivery. It’s a huge improvement, not just in communication, but in safety and efficiency across all our sites.
Dan Leclerc, Operations Manager, Lafarge Canada Eastern Ontario Ready Mix
EORN’s investment in rural infrastructure, safety and economic growth is transformative. Public funds couldn’t be better spent and I hope that EORN’s work continues to be well-supported.
